Not sure if this is gnome startup or a bit before
With a shared gnome config turn on desktop effects, exit
On another box sharing it (or rpm -e compiz) start up X. The compiz failure
leaves the desktop black and blank and is not handled by any fallback to
metacity. This would be fairly confusing to any non expert.

Hi,
We no longer support Fedora Core 6 and I am currently trying to get my open bug
count down to a more manageable state. I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX.
If this issue is still a concern for you, would you mind trying to reproduce on
a supported version of Fedora and reopening?
(this is a mass message)
